*Annuals: Continuing our ‘Immaculate Annuals’ event, it’s back to Boys’ Adventure this week, from the same pedigree source. As with previous ‘Immaculate’ selections, these are from a newsagent’s inventory, never circulated or read, no prices clipped, no gift dedications, ‘This Book Belongs To’ inscriptions or other interior markings, solid spines, tight corners and bright, vibrant colours. A couple of them, because of slightly marred laminate or a tiny bit of cover fading, do dip to FN/VF, but mostly these are VF to VF/NM, truly lovely items, virtually able to pass for new. We have added Hotspur from 1969 and 1972, Roy of the Rovers from 1969, Victor 1966 (VF/NM £50 pictured), 1967 and 1968. Rounding out the update are two uncommon items: The Valiant Book of Pirates (1967 VF £75) and the Valiant Book of Conquest of the Air (VF £25). These do not have comics stories, but are profusely illustrated in full-colour, and the Pirates volume particularly is highly sought-after because of the sumptuous Ron Embleton illustrations. SORRY, VALIANT BOOKS HAVE NOW SOLD
